Web.com Tour Players Welcome Stephen Curry To California Event

The Web.com Tour Ellie Mae Classic tees off today at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, Calif., with Warriors G Stephen Curry playing on a sponsor's exemption. If there are "Curry detractors" in the field, they "aren't making themselves known." Players on the circuit "seem to be embracing his presence." Golfer Taylor Moore: "It’s great for the sport for people like Steph to play in an event like this. It draws so much attention to our sport and I think it’s cool" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 8/3). But Panthers QB Derek Anderson, an avid golfer, said Curry is a "little over his skis" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 8/3).
